Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in libsndfile, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the library.
1) A boundary error exists within the "voc_read_header()" function in src/voc.c. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted VOC file.
2) A boundary error exists within the "aiff_read_header()" function in src/aiff.c. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AIFF file.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.0.20.
